As quoted in the press release:
Drilling will focus on high priority nickel sulphide targets at the Windsor and Desert Dragon prospects. Windsor is currently being drilled, to be followed by drill testing of several strong electromagnetic (EM) conductors at Desert Dragon.
John Prineas, executive chairman of St George Mining, commented:
We are very pleased to have started drilling at Windsor where we believe the opportunity for exploration success is high.
